I want this post to be a warning to anyone using the perk Firefly.
This is my Treads Upon Stars:
-Zen Moment
-Perfect Balance
-Firefly
I had gotten it as a drop back in the early days of The Taken King Expansion, and also at that time I was playing on the Xbox 360. I have heard about the problems with Firefly back then as soon as it had appeared. Consoles crashing only on Next-Gen when the perk had proc'ed from time to time. Recently back in February my bud license transferred the Legendary Edition to me so we could play. Forgetting about the bug, my console crashed almost every time I activated Firefly. I stashed the gun in my Vault and then every gun that came with Firefly, I trashed. No sense in keeping a broken weapon, but I kept my Treads because it was good.
This bug has been a problem since the release of The Taken King and has not been fixed. Not saying that it hasn't been attempted or had been noticed. Today I decided to dust off my Treads and take it into Strikes for some fun. I've made at least 3 peoples consoles crash because of Firefly and I myself was unaffected. The reason why and how I know this is because that your game crashes when you stand in or relatively near a broken Firefly explosion. These players did not manually go to orbit, they continued to run a straight line and wall hug the end of the path and 'Depart.'
I had to leave the Strike playlist because I was worried that my own console would crash again. And I don't want to damage my console more than I'd want to. I feel restricted of all weaponry that is associated with Firefly because of possible hardware damages.
My feedback on the issue is that these crashes only occur when you are playing with others.
-Connected to their shared instance.
-Firefly occasionally procs' the explosion on the player and not on the targeted enemy.
-And chaining rapid Firefly Explosions, overloading the frames and crashing.
Should I even bother keeping a weapon that is possibly dangerous to not only my gaming console but others as well? I look for your assistance in this matter and would appreciate some message regarding to this problem.

I have to admit though, some of these are actually pretty funny but it doesn't seem worth the risk.
Edit 1: I'm not really understanding how some people don't have problems and some people do. I thought that this was universal. My game clips just shows how bad it really is and that's just within an hour of playing with the weapon.
I tested with the Ace of Spades for about an hour and its Firefly wasn't extreme. Does this bug only occur with Scouts?
Edit 2: From just reading more and more comments, I don't know how inconsistent this bug really is.
Edit 3: Hey, we're trending. I haven't noticed the bug occurring with snipers all that much. I haven't seen the massive explosions like in my clips.
Edit 4: We're on the Highest-Rated now, cool! And some people have stated that they were disappointed at the fact that the clips don't show anyone's game crashing and disappearing. I could possibly provide those clips if people are willing to have their games, or quite possibly, have their consoles crash.
I highly doubt anyone would just volunteer for that.... Option's open I guess.
Edit 5: Reiterating my second edit, this bug seems to be very inconsistent and I don't understand why. I planned on moving this to the #Feedback tab soon but I feel like I'm just going to be spoon-feed the same useless message from any Bungie rep on there.

That's unfortunate that this is still an issue. Luckily, the only weapon I use with firefly on it is the vendor Hung Jury and I haven't run into any problems with it.
-
3 RespuestasI've only had this happen to me when using the old vendor-stock The Vanity from FWC, with Firefly and Luck in the Chamber, on PS4. Every time both Firefly and LitC proc'd on the same shot, I'd crash to console desktop. Every. Single. Time. This never happened to me on last gen. Not sure what's up.
-
So far, only the previous vendor version of Vanity has been a problem for me. LiTC and Firefly proved to be a bad combo. Caused my game to freeze a few times. I ended up leaving it in my vault and eventually just not using Firefly with it. Too bad, I really liked that hand cannon with Firefly.
-
My game crashes sometimes when I use my firefly Treads Upon Stars
-
3 RespuestasNever happened to me and i use firefly religiously
-
1 RespuestaWow, this is still an issue?
-
One of my clanmates uses the old stock Hung Jury with Firefly, and although it never froze his console, multiple times he has frozen [i]mine [/i]when he would Firefly something right in front of me so the explosion was big on my screen.
-
I love firefly and probably have 50,000 Hung Jury kills with no bug ever happening. I also used a firefly roll on my 1000 Yard Stare, which I probably put 5,000 or so combined PvE and PvP kills with.
-
this happened to me using the before-April update vendor version of FWC The Vanity hand cannon. that gun would crash my system every time i used it. Firefly and LITC would proc........i'd get a big explosion and the game would just freeze. nothing i could do but hold the power button on Xbox One console and hard reboot it. have a hung jury with firefly that has never messed up once. it has to be something with firely and LITC proc'ing at same time.

2 RespuestasAnyone remember the game crashing vanity
-
I haven't noticed any problems that you mentioned. I have a Not like the others with triple tap and firefly and it works every time. It might be your console
-
2 RespuestasMaybe this is a sign you should update your console
-
Editado por lx Bizzle: 5/14/2016 9:24:55 PMI have this exact same roll on my treads and this has happened to me at least a half dozen times now. I've noticed it only happenes to me on multi kills while in a fireteam if that helps. Edit Never happened using hung jury vanity or cocytus.
-
Yes, I see your point. My console once crashed because I spammed solar grenades in the Endless Cell Strike. Never have had a glitch with firefly though.
-
Happened a few times with Fatebringer, once with Hung Jury. It's so weird it's like a Roman candle exploding from the top of the enemies head then boom screen goes white for a second and crash.
-
Editado por QuiscalusMajor: 5/14/2016 5:35:26 PMthis bug has happened to me once during a raid, and i was using MIDA of all things -- i was hardscoped, nailed a perfect headshot right in front of me (the thralls were close, a lucky shot) that lit up my screen and then suddenly it was all i saw. complete lockup. wonder if the inconsistency is due to not being hardscoped on a too-close enemy? btw, all of your clips are the same link
-
3 RespuestasI will pledge to continue using firefly to report any problems. Week one player here - never ever have I experienced this.
-
It used to happen to me but only when luck in the chamber and firefly proced on the same shot.
-
3 RespuestasI've only ever seen problems with firefly+luck in the chamber.
-
Friend of mine tried freezing me two months ago we used hung jury and vanity from season 1 on the taniks strike and nothing happens just alot of fir and explosions and this was ps3 not even that amazing! Next gen
-
No bug for me. My Vanity has Firefly, but I never crash.
-
It happened to me during a raid. My friend used his firefly sniper rifle and I got caught in the blast. My clan had to ban the perk from our load outs until it's fixed.
-
I have a couple of weapons with firefly: hung jury and the thousand yard. I've never noticed anything and I use the hung jury a lot playing with others. I'm on ps4 so I don't know if that matters or not.
-
Happens to me on HC with firefly more frequently, so far not on my scouts with firefly
-
2 RespuestasEditado por Valefor: 5/13/2016 8:25:05 PMI still have this problem too. Game freezes. It's horrible if it happens during a raid. Edit: Only happens on my xbox one, not the 360.
-
I've seen this happen all the time and it's never crashed anyone on my fireteam or myself.
